I am connecting to an OpenSSL server and successfully sending a message. When I try to read the response 1 of 2 things is happening, I either get an exception "An error occurred during the decryption and verfication process" or if I am in the debugger the read succeeds with 0 bytes read.

The same keys and base code works with IP*Works. I have to turn off CN verification for the connections to work.

Are you using the latest version of the library? We've uploaded a new version yesterday [1.0.13.672]

Ok, I just downloaded the new library and I am now getting "An error occurs while communicating with the remote host"

What's the stack trace?

I'm unable to reproduce the behavior you're seeing. If possible, could you send me the code you're using that has this problem?
If not, could you detail the settings you're using? [ie, mutual authentication, the protocol (SSL, TLS or SSL/TLS), credential verification type, ...]. Could you also send me the server you're connecting to (if it's a public server)?

The problem has been solved and fixed in the latest version of the library.
